Teeth are important players in your life! They\u2019re not only the first responders for your digestive tract, but they can make a great first impression \u2013 so you deserve a beautiful, fully-functioning set. If your teeth need a real makeover, a crown might be just the thing you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crown is a custom-made shell that fits perfectly over your natural tooth. Crowns look and act exactly like your original tooth \u2013 but better. Crowns<\/a> restore broken and badly decayed or discolored teeth. Crowns also top off dental implants and build dental bridges<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Need A Crown<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting a crown usually requires two trips to the dentist. On the first trip, the dentist makes a plan to suit your specific needs and prepares the tooth. You will also get impressions of the tooth so that a crown can be made to fit perfectly over the natural tooth. On the second trip, your crown is installed and cemented on. A crown is a permanent or \u201cfixed\u201d dental piece. This makes it very stable and durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, a crown can be designed, fabricated and placed in a single appointment with the help of advanced same-day technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowns can be made of a variety of materials and each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Talk with your dentist when choosing between crowns made of porcelain, resin, or metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowns are a superior restorative dentistry treatment in both form and function. Because they are individually made, your Cypress dentist can give unique attention to each tooth to make sure it looks and acts just like a natural tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
